Be my only star tonight 

Under a black lightless sky

Remember the common pattern

You managed to escape.

Melted by your words

Evermore written on our pages.

Interwoven in your arms

Never returning to your love.

Make the world shift to bearable

You could turn the tables just like that.

Forget how often I am unkind

And sink me in my own sins

View me as I really am and then

Overdraw from the well

Rip my reputation from my body

Ingest in your own self pity

Tell the unbearable world a story

End my agony with goodbye.

Call on all that will listen

Old news and new things to burn

Light me on fire and then question

Of the reasons why I sent myself

Raring into my own casket

So lovely in my shades of orange.
